hello, I would like to start my server via the website "The Pole Web", I have a server web hosting, I sent the full Doc CS2D + Dedicated.exe, and I try to execute the file cs2d_dedicated with "Cron Job Manager" but nothing happens,
Can someone help me please
Should we create a PHP script to run is programmed?
No, it is impossible to host a CS2D server using normal webspace (or a website). You need a server with root access (or a user account with comparable rights). There are no special tricks to host a server that is online all the time! You have to rent a server for money. Sorry.
FTPS are completely different. If you do manage to have exec or shell I doubt you can run anything from it.
Anyways even if you manage to run it off there, the speed would be extremely slow due to the type of connection it's bound to and the restrictions the free ftp may have.
Bro, 'exec' is the same as system in C, it is made to execute things, lolz. If you tried to run exec from a PHP script where is it disabled, it will give an error.
And I'm not talking about FTPS, SSH and FTPS are two completely different things! FTPS is a secure file transfer protocol while SSH is a remote shell connection protocol.
You need SSH access, and different companies charge different prices. Ask the one you are using now if you can upgrade your account to a VPS or dedicated server.
I would, however, reccomend StratoServer and Server4You as they are the best performance for price in my opinion.
you can use a VPS server,too.
only 8,85€ a month and enough if you only want to host some cs2d servers.
a VPS server means you share a root server with some other guys. its only a virtual machine. but it has enough power for cs2d.
if you want to host more things then only cs2d, like CS 1.6 server, some cs2d servers, teamspeak, a website,.... then you better choose a root server.
only for cs2d a VPS is enough
You just need to drag the dedicated server as well as the windows archive into a folder. Afterwards you just need to type 'screen /folder/to/game/cs2d_dedicated' Don't run it as root though
